Abstract
Personal information Handling has become a major concern in the digital world due to the amount of personal information being transmitted, shared between organisations and individual, personal data that are being collected through online platforms day by day. In this paper, the research about personal information handling is not only limited to organizations, government agencies but also the importance of securing our personal data individually. This research will bring great convenience for both individuals and organisations and raise the efficiency in the way personal data is managed because it requires an extensive and clear understanding of its implication in cyber-crime. Security mechanisms and techniques to handle sensitive information are proposed in this paper. The assessment of responsibilities among individuals and organisations is also provided, and a demonstration on how personal information is classified according to its level of disclosure. Furthermore, we assess the specific privacy concerns in relation to personal information. Through this both individuals and organisations can securely manage information concerns and data associated with individuals.
